Four digit flight numbers too. That's going to be weird.

Is AE doing the same thing?

Three years ago when I worked for them, Eagle was in the developmental stages of this new automated W&B format.

Max Q + (Acars Flight Planning) = Monkey + (Proverbial Coconut)

Yea good luck with that. When Mesaba switched away from paper to load control it was a f-ing nightmare. 45 min wait for numbers! So when you've got an 7 leg day, well do the math. They dropped the entire last day of a 4 day, and we still made overtime on that trip. I'd grab a snicker bar if I was you!

It's all real time via Aerodata. If it's anything like the TLR system now you get a response in about 5 seconds.

Aerodata is pretty good. Just be patient on the 200, it takes a couple of minutes to fill in all the blanks. On the 700, it is almost instantaneous.
